RESUMO
Infantile digital fibromatosis is a rare benign fibro/myofibroblastic proliferation that almost only occurs on the fingers and toes. It is characterized by bright, round, intracytoplasmic, eosinophilic inclusions. We present a case of infantile digital fibromatosis in a 6-years-old child.

OBJECTIVE: Report of a case of leukemic infiltration of the prostate as an incidental CT finding. METHODS: We describe a case of a 60-year-old male suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. A routine-performed CT showed multiple lymphadenopathies and an hypodense area in the left prostatic lobe. The patient was sent to our department to carry out a transrectal ultrasound and prostatic biopsy. He didn't relate any urinary symptoms. RESULTS: By the prostate rectal examination the gland felt hard and with no well defined limits. The transrectal ultrasound showed heterogene parenchyma and several hyperechoic areas by a bad circumscribed prostate. The pathological analysis reported a diffuse infiltration of the gland by chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. CONCLUSIONS: Although the relapse of hematological tumors to the prostate has been described previously, there is no published case to our knowledge of a leukemic prostate infiltration in an assymptomatic patient as an incidental finding by an imaging procedure.
